Literally every single component of the definition I cited fits Garak’s actions to a T.
Only if you don’t know what a “T” is.
It doesn’t matter. One comment you say it’s not terrorism because people “didn’t seem terrified.”
Which you then claimed was my entire definition, in one of your famous strawman attacks. People being terrified is only part of what makes something terrorism.
because of the location where it happened!
Yes. You see, an explosion on a private “yacht” somewhere in the middle of nowhere is very different from an explosion in a public market. The location matters, because in terrorism, you need to terrify. If you’re not potentially in danger, it’s not terrifying.
I love how you simultaneously claim I’m strawmanning you and defend the positions I’m criticizing.
No, people don’t have to be afraid for it to be terrorism, no, the location isn’t relevant to whether it’s terrorism (we’ve been over this, a bomb that goes off on a plane over international waters is still terrorism), no, the perpetrator doesn’t have to take credit for it. None of those criteria are included anywhere in either your made up definition or the actual definition.
But again, it doesn’t matter because you’re a fundamentally unreasonable person. You don’t care about logic or evidence or consistency. You’ll just respond to this with another meaningless snipe like “oNlY iF yOu DoN’t KnOw WhAt A t Is,” because that’s the highest capacity for thought that you possess.
You said “Terrorism is the use of violence against the general public to change behaviours or policies.” Location is not in that definition. Whether people are terrified (which the Romulans were) is not included in that definition. Whether the perpetrator takes credit is not included in that definition. How on earth can you not see how completely full of shit you are when you keep adding new, arbitrary stipulations to exclude this one instance of terrorism??
It was the only objection you raised at that point, so yes, it was your entire argument. Whether you had some super-secret argument in your head that you weren’t saying isn’t relevant to the argument you actually made.
Yes. It’s obvious that you’re acting smarmy to cover the gaps whenever you have nothing, to cover all the holes in your argument. It’s like you think if you just act smug, people won’t notice when you’re cornered and have no actual response.
It doesn’t work. It’s transparent. You’re not actually covering up the holes in your reasoning, you’re just demonstrating that you don’t care about how many holes there are in your reasoning, because you’re intellectually dishonest.

Are you unable to read, as well as unable to think? I said your strawmanning was when you claimed it was my entire argument:
You:

You have trouble reading huh?
God, you’re so smarmy when you can’t think of an actual point. Do you not realize how transparent it is?
Transparent?
Yes. It’s obvious that you’re acting smarmy to cover the gaps whenever you have nothing, to cover all the holes in your argument. It’s like you think if you just act smug, people won’t notice when you’re cornered and have no actual response.

I have nothing? I’ve shown that it wasn’t terrorism, including by your definition.
